To achieve this status Microsoft requires certain standards to be met and a number of staff to be Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCP). In order to become an MCP each member of staff has undergone a formal training programme in an area of specialisation followed by a rigorous examination set by Microsoft. The benefits of Microsoft Partner status are considerable for ourselves and our customers. Gordon Associates receives technical and marketing support from Microsoft in the development of our solutions. This status provides you the customer with the knowledge that our work is of a high enough quality to be authorised by Microsoft and that we have the backing of the leading organisation in the industry.
